Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification
#799 - Clear suspicion, Luoyang Continent!
The two of them arrived outside the mansion and saw three figures standing at the door.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a stern face and a deep aura. He was obviously a strong man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Behind him followed two cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage. They had solemn expressions and lightning-like eyes, and it was obvious that they had no good intentions.
"Are you Jiangling Mansion Lord Zhou Xun?"
"Yes, it is Zhou. I wonder what business fellow Taoists have brought you here for?"
Zhou Xun spoke in a calm tone, as if he was not facing an enemy but an ordinary visitor.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his eyes swept across Zhou Xun like a knife, and said coldly:
"Zhou Xun, do you know why we are here?"
Zhou Xun smiled slightly, looking calm: "I have never met you, so naturally I don't know!"
"I am Liu Feng, the manager of the Law Enforcement Hall of Luoyang Xianzong. I am here to investigate the murder of Zhenhai Zhenjun of our sect. I hope you will cooperate with us!"
"Master Zhou, I am Li Yuan, the head of the Ministry of Justice. This investigation has also been approved by His Majesty. Please cooperate!"
At this time, the white-haired old man next to him spoke slowly. He naturally knew Zhou Xun's importance in the Jin court, so he was extremely polite!
"In that case, please come in and have a chat!" Zhou Xun said calmly.
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man nodded, and then they went to the reception room together.
Everyone took their seats, divided into host and guest, and Zhou Xun spoke at this time:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, if there is anything you would like to know, please feel free to ask!"
"Excuse me, Lord Zhou, where did you go after the Jinyuan Pavilion exchange meeting?"
Liu Feng stared at Zhou Xun with sharp eyes, and there was an unquestionable sense of oppression in his tone.
Zhou Xun looked normal, smiled slightly, and said:
"After the exchange meeting ended, I left Jinyuan Pavilion and returned directly to the cave. During this time, I bought some spiritual materials. The shop owner can testify to this."
"As for the rest, I returned to Jiangling Prefecture until you came!"
Liu Feng frowned when he heard this, and was obviously not satisfied with Zhou Xun's answer. He said coldly:
"Palace Master Zhou, as far as we know, you had contact with Zhenhai Zhenjun after the exchange meeting. Do you have any explanation for this?"
Zhou Xun's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He shook his head and said:
Zhou Xun heard this, his expression remained calm, and he said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to verify it."
"But if you are so aggressive and want to accuse me based on nothing but speculation, don't you think my magic weapon is not effective?"
Liu Feng's face darkened when he heard this, and he was about to get angry, but Li Yuan quickly spoke:
"Manager Liu, Lord Zhou is a powerful man who has made great contributions to our race, and yet the Emperor of Jin treats him with courtesy!"
"If you continue to be rude, don't blame us Dajin for not cooperating!"
Then he looked at Zhou Xun again:
"Palace Master Zhou, Manager Liu is following the orders of Lord Luoyang, and His Majesty is also cooperating. Please don't be angry!"
Liu Feng snorted coldly. Although he was dissatisfied, he had to suppress his anger temporarily because of Li Yuan's words. He said coldly:
"Palace Master Zhou said that he has been staying in Jiangling Palace. Do you have any evidence?"
"I can testify!" At this moment, Shan Xionghai, who was sitting next to him, slowly spoke.
"Who are you and what's your proof?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly.
"I am Shan Xionghai, the direct disciple of Lord Yunku. I wonder if this identity is credible?" Shan Xionghai said with a smile.
"Are you the contemporary Buddhist disciple of Prajna Temple, Shan Xionghai?" The middle-aged man had an expression of disbelief.
"How dare you! How can you say anything about my name? I am very sorry that Zhenhai Zhenjun passed away, but if you dare to slander my friend,
"Don't blame me for being rude!"
"Besides, even if I kill you, will Senior Luoyang Tianjun blame me for it?" Shan Xionghai smiled coldly with a fierce look on his face.
When Liu Feng heard this, his expression changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect Shan Xionghai to stand up and testify for Zhou Xun at this moment.
Although he was the manager of the Law Enforcement Hall of Luoyang Immortal Sect, he did not dare to be too presumptuous when facing the contemporary Buddhist disciples of Boluo Temple.
Besides, he is the only disciple of Yun Ku Tianjun now and holds a high status.
"Shan Fozi, this matter is of great importance, please be cautious." Liu Feng slowed down his tone.
Shan Xionghai snorted coldly, his eyes like lightning, staring directly at Liu Feng:
"Zhou Xun has been with me since the exchange meeting ended. He has never left Jiangling Mansion. I can personally testify to this!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng hurriedly bowed and responded:
"Since Shan Fozi has testified to this matter, it cannot be false. So we will take our leave first!"
Liu Feng then stood up and said goodbye and left.
After they left, Shan Xionghai looked solemn and said:
"I think that even though Liu Feng has retreated, he may not have given up the investigation. You should be more careful and don't use the power of the Purple Thunder Art to avoid being discovered by them!"
"That's great. I will stay here to train the palace guards!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
Dry sea,
Zhou Xun transformed into Zhao Ping's appearance, with his aura and demeanor all matching his real self, and then continued the task of searching for 'Zhou Xun'.
Unfortunately, after searching for ten days, no trace of Zhou Xun was found.
So he followed the information he got from Zhao Ping's memory and quickly flew towards the temporary residence of the Luoyang Immortal Sect's cultivators.
Along the way, he deliberately avoided several areas where spiritual sense exploration was frequent, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Soon, he arrived at a makeshift camp. There were hidden formations around the camp. If Zhou Xun had not already known the exact location from Zhao Ping's memory, it would have been difficult to detect.
"Junior Brother Zhao, you're back!" A cultivator in a green robe came forward. It was True Lord Chi Xiao who was in the same group as Zhao Ping.
Zhou Xun nodded and said calmly, "I just found some abnormal fluctuations in the southeast direction, so I went to check it out, but unfortunately I didn't find anything."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Chi Xiao frowned slightly and said, "This person is really cunning. He was able to hide for so long despite our intensive search."
Zhou Xun pretended to sigh helplessly: "Yes, the order of the Lord of Heaven cannot be disobeyed, we can only continue searching."
As the two were talking, another tall cultivator walked out of the tent. It was Tianyu Zhenjun who led the team.
He glanced at Zhou Xun with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Zhao, have you discovered anything recently?"
Zhou Xun's face was calm as usual, and he bowed and said, "My lord, I found some abnormal fluctuations in the southeast direction, so I went to check it out, but unfortunately I found nothing."
Tianyu Zhenjun nodded and said calmly: "The search mission is heavy now, everyone must be careful and not be careless."
"Yes!" Zhou Xun and True Lord Chi Xiao answered in unison.
Tianyu Zhenjun waved his hand, signaling them to go and rest.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then walked towards his tent.
After entering the tent, Zhou Xun quickly set up a restriction to isolate spiritual consciousness to ensure that no one could spy.
He sat down cross-legged and began to carefully sort out the information he had obtained from Zhao Ping's memory.
"The Luoyang Immortal Sect's search plan is indeed very thorough. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have had a hard time escaping." Zhou Xun thought to himself.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the tent. Zhou Xun frowned, quickly restrained his breath, and pretended to be meditating and practicing.
"Senior Brother Zhao, are you there?" A clear female voice came from outside the tent.
Zhou Xun felt helpless. This Zhao Ping was really a playboy. Although his cultivation was average, he had many female cultivators around him.
From Zhao Ping's memory, we know that this person is Zhao Ping's good friend -
He quickly adjusted his mentality and responded calmly: "Come in."
The curtain was lifted, and a woman in a white gauze dress walked in. She had a beautiful face and a hint of charm between her eyebrows. It was Fairy Yubing.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you're back!" Fairy Yubing walked up to Zhou Xun and asked softly.
Zhou Xun shook his head and said in a tired voice, "Yeah, it's a pity that I didn't find anything. It was just a wasted trip."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fairy Yubing smiled when she heard this: "It's okay, as long as Senior Brother returns safely."
Zhou Xun nodded, but he was secretly alert in his heart. Fairy Yubing had a close relationship with Zhao Ping, and if he was not careful, he might reveal his flaws.
"Brother, you look a little tired. Why don't I make you a pot of spiritual tea to help you recover your strength." Fairy Yubing said softly.
Zhou Xun wanted to refuse, but then he thought that if he acted too distant, it would arouse suspicion, so he nodded and said:
"Alright, thank you, Junior Sister."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Yubing showed a hint of joy on her face. She then took out a set of tea sets from her storage bag and started to make tea.
Zhou Xun sat aside, feeling a little depressed, and then thought about his next plan.
"Now I am disguised as Zhao Ping, and I am safe for the time being,"
"It's just that Zhao Ping has too many female confidantes. After a while, it's inevitable that flaws will be exposed." Zhou Xun thought to himself.
After a moment, Fairy Yubing handed Zhou Xun a cup of steaming hot spiritual tea and inadvertently hooked his palm with her fingers.
There is a lot of seduction in her eyes,
"Brother, please use it."
Zhou Xun took the teacup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and full of spiritual energy. It was indeed a pot of top-quality spiritual tea.
"Junior sister, your tea art is becoming more and more sophisticated!" Zhou Xun praised casually.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Yubing blushed and whispered, "As long as Senior Brother likes it."
Then he turned sideways and rolled into Zhou Xun's arms.
Zhou Xun took a quick look and thought that Zhao Ping's ability was average, but he was very lucky in love.
So he joked:
"Junior sister is so considerate, how can I accept it?"
Fairy Yubing's cheeks flushed, she lightly hit Zhou Xun and said coquettishly:
"Just tease me."
In this slightly charming atmosphere, a burst of rapid bell sounds suddenly came from outside the tent. The sound was sharp and rapid, echoing in the valley.
Fairy Yubing was startled and quickly got up from Zhou Xun's arms, looking panicked: "This is the emergency assembly bell, what happened?"
Zhou Xun frowned slightly, but his face remained calm. He quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and said:
"Junior sister, don't panic. I'll go out and take a look. You stay in the tent and don't run around." After saying that, he strode out of the tent.
"What happened?" Zhou Xun asked a fellow traveler.
"A group of ferocious beasts are attacking the camp!"
Zhou Xun was shocked. The attack by a group of ferocious beasts was no small matter. If not handled properly, the entire camp would be in disaster.
After all, he had experienced it personally and knew how powerful they were!
But at this moment, he was more worried about whether his disguise could be maintained in this chaos.
He quickly rushed to the center of the camp, only to see that Lord Tianyu was already directing everyone to deploy their defenses.
"Everyone, don't panic. Follow the formation you practiced before and form a defensive formation!"
The voice of Master Tianyu echoed in the camp, carrying a calming force.
Zhou Xun mixed in the crowd and quickly found his position according to the formation position in Zhao Ping's memory. True Lord Chi Xiao was also not far away. When he saw Zhou Xun, he shouted:
"Junior Brother Zhao, be careful! I don't know what's wrong with these ferocious beasts."
Zhou Xun nodded, and at the same time secretly circulated his spiritual power to prepare for battle.
Soon, the group of ferocious beasts came like a tide. These beasts were huge and looked similar to catfish. They exuded a fishy smell and their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
Zhou Xun's eyes focused, and he quickly formed seals with his hands, taking out Zhao Ping's life-saving magic weapon, and a series of fire dragons flew towards the ferocious beast.
Other monks also cast spells one after another. For a moment, there was a flash of light in front of the camp, and various spells were intertwined.
Half a month later, the beasts finally retreated, but everyone was badly injured.
At this time, Tianyu Zhenjun called everyone together:
"According to Elder Lieyang's order, we will return to the sect to repair and hand over in advance!"
However, it was an adjustment made by the elders considering the serious injuries suffered by everyone.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"If we can leave early, it will reduce the risk of being discovered. After all, we can leave whenever we want after returning to his cave!"
"Even if someone comes to visit, you can still decline the offer by closing your eyes!"
Two days later, the monk in charge of the handover arrived.
Zhou Xun followed Tianyu Zhenjun and others and set out on the journey back to Luoyang Xianzong.
A month later, they finally walked out of Kuya Sea and came to the nearest teleportation array.
Returned to Luoyang Continent.
Luoyang Continent is the world of Luoyang Immortal Sect. It is divided into seven states and ninety-six prefectures similar to Dajin.
It's just that he is the only sect in the entire continent.
Of course, there were many in the past, but since Luoyang Tianjun ascended to the God Transformation stage,
The sects here either surrendered and joined the Luoyang Immortal Sect, or were completely wiped out.
Zhao Ping's ancestors were originally from a Nascent Soul Sect, called the Chiyuan Sect.
Now it is the Chiyuan Hall of Qingyun Mansion in Hongzhou.
Zhao Ping is the only Yuanying Zhenjun in Chiyuan Hall, which is also the origin of his Buddhist name.
On this day, Zhou Xun followed Elder Tianyu back to Luoyang Continent, and finally returned to Chiyuan Hall through the teleportation array of Luoyang Fairy City.
"Now that we are here, let's make the best of it!"
"Now that the main body is in Jiangling Mansion, he is here to explore the Luoyang Continent."
As a sect that cultivates the spirit, there must be many secrets that will be beneficial to his cultivation!
